Goodrich is located in southeastern Genesee County. This picturesque town is situated on a mill pond, part of Kearsley Creek. The dam is located under the bridge of the main street area. Several well-preserved turn-of-the-century style buildings give the town a historical look.

Goodrich was started in 1835 when Enos, Moses and Levi Goodrich purchased a thousand acres here and built a cabin. The town originally was named Atlas, after the township, but Reuben Goodrich changed the name in 1849 when he became the postmaster there. It was incorporated as a village in 1957.
